## Summary

Ordnance Survey Limited, located in Southampton, is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Clothing, aimed at supporting their Field Surveying Services teams. This process involves a Request for Information (RFI), with potential suppliers being invited to engage by submitting their responses electronically via the InTend system. The key engagement milestone is scheduled for 25th November 2025. This tender falls under the goods category and focuses on industrial clothing and protective gear, indicating its relevance to the safety domain for professionals who work in diverse environments including construction sites and highways.

This tender presents substantial business opportunities for companies specialising in the manufacture and supply of industrial clothing and PPE, particularly those able to cater to demands for timely delivery. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have experience in providing weatherproof and protective clothing, as well as those offering safety gear like protective footwear and headgear, would benefit from participating. As these products are required for ensuring safety in hazardous working conditions, suppliers with a strong track record in quality assurance and efficient distribution would likely succeed in this procurement process.
